FEB. 19 'Thiginal Letter from Mr. FREDFRIC DUCHASTEL tt; Lientengnt-General CANNEL, in answer to a pa , agraph inserted, page 26. of Memoirs of the War of • La Vendee in 1815, ty•.that General. Ti" para L .rapb *rimq thus—'' The battle was over, 'kvfnitiBooo Vedetes of Anion, at the head of whom was O; , eIYUCIIASTEL, formerly an Officer in the Army, known for the most extrAvagant hiuism, arrived -at Mimi. At the sound of - the 'firing, which was heard a good distance off ) the h a lf of his - troops ran away, and he did not dare to advance with the rest ; he made his retreat without even having seen the Vendcans, and re entered in a cowardly manner Montreuil. A few hours before this hero promised to exterminate all that came in his way, and so anxious did he appear to march to combat that the troops did not collect quick enough, and he feared to be too late!" GENERAL;—Iie who is not afraid, in a work circulated with profiv%ion, to accuse ofjacobinism aod cowardice an old officer, might himself to be, at least free from reproach, and feel a pure poli tical conscience, or lie exposes himself to hear ru . blicly also harsh and disagreeable truths. I will reply to your injurious calumnies, and give in a few words the history of my political life; I wilt also sketch a few traits of your's. During five years I followed the military pro fession as a man of honour ; I have always che rished liberal principles, which render France happy, since the best of Kings has consecrated them by the charter. I have never injured any one, and I have sometimes been fortunate enough to be able to do good. I never was a Fedt.Cté, and you seek gratuitously, General, to insult all the inhabitants of the Carton of Montret►il in giving them this appellation. 11. Jouv, your brother in-law, was at the head of my column with M. GArN, the - Mayor of Montreuti; DUGAuGIEa, .1113I;CC of the Peace. ESTIENNBIN, DANso, and MAUGEIS BOURGUIDON, Receivers of the Dtoiei and Taxes. OLLIVIER, lUII. JOSOCC of the Peace at Done, &c. and marry others. Wire they Feder& ? If I accepted the comtmlmi of this troop, it vas because I saw myself secotrde►i by persons of worth, who only united themsolvtA with rue to assist me to prevent the disor:lers to which a body of men, without organiza►ion, is lietble. NVottld you know, General, why ti►e Popola, tine rose en masse? The .inhabitants had learnt iltn! you mat Cheo in the ranks of the Royalists; t►ot•one of them was ignorant of the manner in +l►icb you had n►ade War against the Vc►ldeaas, and the inhabitants oflicrri ;they feared the same treatment, and all, even to your ❑earest relatives, rushed to firms. What can hare blinded you to suppose that you %vete no longer known in your own Conotry ? Do we not all know that you only arrived at the first rank in the Army, at a time when Demagogic fury took place of talents and bravery. litre you not figured, tinder the eyes of your fellow citizens, at the head quarters of the most revolutionary Generals ? Have we . not seen you at the head of these columns ; - every step of which was marked with carnalze, fire, and devastation, in Vendee and in Berri? What, since that period, are your ti,l es to glory ? What battle have you gained, what campaign have you made ? You never displayed your courage, but to combat Fienehmen and those Royalists. Why ! You do not blush to place yourself be tween those preux Ventleans, who always raithfnl to their principles, never bore arms, but in the cause of their King. CANNEL, betlA'een the D'AUTICUAMPS and the LA RUCHES•JAQUELINS! ! ! «%I►at can justity such impertinet►t vain boasting. Is it ynur conduct at Rennes and at Lyons ? It is true that the me morable trial of General FinAvoT, atEl the reports of the Duke de RAGusA*, will convey your name to the latest posterity. I leave to M. D'AUTICHAMP, against whom your work is-particularly directed, the care of ex posing the errors and the fal,iehoods which understand it i filled ; he will state what considera tion you etijoveil in the Vendean Army, and how Lieiiteirii , t-General CANNEL came to he under the orders of the yoting LA aOCIIE-JA(2UP,LIN, then CUFF D'ESCADRON, and at present only Colonel. General, you have insulted toe with three thousand of my fellow citizens. 1 have answered you in their name an° my own. Were I a Gene al Officer, you should have already seen we ; it is for you now, if you are really a loan of courage, to filter nieloyally the opportunity of provii,g• to you that I am as )rave as yourself. (Signed) F. DUCHASTEL. Stumur, Feb. It, ISIS. P. S Pr;iv Genet al can yon explain, as yon say the battle was veer, how the fit ink; could be heard, which say you frightened the half of my men ? * The secret notes of the Duke 11R;.7nsa, who was gent to gnelJ the riots at Lyons in June li:st. prorud the Cl,ll - WaS fr.l Cannll and 01 i , f•! ; an.l by the blood of their telhnl-citizens the; prove thewselvesactivc friends of the Munareby.---ThANtirn We received this morning the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. It is singular that there is still not a E. yllable mentioned in them re specting any discovery regarding the person con cerned in the attempt on the life of the Duke of WELLINGTON. It may be said that if they have nothing new to communicate on the subject, they may as well be silent, but it must be recollected, they asserted at the time that the Police - bad ob tained a clue which it was believed would lead tit the discovery of the assassin, and therefore it might naturally be expected some further.infor mation ere this would have been disclond. The following are Extracts : " PARts,FEB- 20.—1 n the Chamber -of •Depn ties on Wednesday the Projet for granting further time to the Emigrants against their Creditors was agreed to, 97 to 64, with . an amendment limiting the delay to the Ist January, 18;9.
